[F#]
[E] [Bm] I walked down from Inverness in the fall of [E] 23
With a dream that was America, [Bm] my home
My pretty blue-eyed Bonnie made [Em] every step with me
Scared to death and shivering from [Bm] the cold
Well, I [G] promised that I'd send for her [F#] in just a little [Bm] while
[G] Kissed her on the cheek, [D] then set [F#] sail across the miles
She [G] was standing on the [A] shore, waving [D] goodbye
Fetched her love forevermore [A] with a teardrop in [F#] her eye
[Bm] Oh, twenty years have come and gone and I've tried with all my [E] might
[Bm] The girl from the Highlands [F#] haunts [Bm] me every night
